Have you put away Christmas completely? PIC

Cute snowman. I'd leave him out as he's winter, not Christmas.

Christmas stuff is put away and winter stuff is out. No snowmen this year... pinecones, greenery, and fuzzy white owls... but I sometimes leave them out for winter decor. Your cute guy could definitely pass for winter...though it must be terribly uncomfortable for him with that post up his butt! lol

Does having all the totes sitting in the foyer count? DH asked me to let him put them away in the garage so there they sit .

I'd leave him out too. I'd rationalize that it's Winter decor and not Christmas as suzastampin said. 

All of ours is put away, except the tablescape on the dining table. Except for the antique ornaments that fill the inside of the lantern, I'm going with "it's Winter decor".     I really should replace them with pinecones, but that would require going in the basement. 

Ours are now all stored away again except for a couple of snowmen left out on purpose........and a Santa ornament which we forgot to put in the storage box!

I am having a little trouble putting away the baby tree. It is all sea shells this year-ones that I picked up off of beaches over the years that I made into ticky-tacky ornaments and put on the little tree. I want to put it away, but it is kind of fun with all the shells.

Maybe this weekend. 

I usually have everything put away by the 1st, 2nd at the latest. DH's 96 year old Grandma was suppose to come for dinner on Sunday and wanted to see our house decorated so I left everything. She then didn't feel well and didn't come for dinner and since I have worked long hours every day since, the only thing that has been taken down is the tree (but the boxes of tree decorations are still sitting in the middle of the floor).

It is just sooooooo sad that I don't have a retired husband and a college kid living in the home who could help un-decorate while I'm at work...

Nope, my houses and nativity are still iut. I am going to start putting the houses away tonight.

No way!

Christmas usually lasts about two months here, middle of November til middle of January. I still feel such pleasure sitting here next to the glow of the Christmas tree, even though the gifts are unwrapped and gone. 

I was late decorating this year, it was almost the end of November before I was finished. And I will reluctantly take down things this weekend.

There just doesn't seem to be much to look forward to from after Christmas til spring. We haven't even really had any snow yet. I like to prolong the lights and the decorations as long as possible to give some brightness and festivity to what will otherwise be a long, cold winter season.

My houses come out as part of my winter decorating.  I have not put anything away yet.  Husband took down lights tonight since we keep them lit until the 6th.

On Sun DH will bring in the bins and I am off work on the following Fri so I will try to get everything put away next weekend.  Then DH can take down the tree and box it up.

I will then have some snowmen, and my vintage putz houses out until March.

I'm about to put away the last hold out ... the snowman in our powder room ... it's a sad, sad day  

We didn't put the houses out this year but those also stay longer 'winter village'

My entire set was made by my sister so it's very special to me.

We put away just about everything last weekend except for my Willow Tree nativity set, the wreath on my door and 4 Yankee winter/holiday candles. One candle is in a really pretty frosted class winter scene holder.

My outside lights and my two trees inside are lit right now. The lights in the windows aren't on. I'm just to lazy to plug them in. The outside stuff is probably coming down tomorrow. I might start on the trees this weekend or I might not. They are so cheerful and bright on these dark gloomy winter days. One year I didn't take them down until the first week of February.
